Subject: Minors remaining in Major 10 ??
Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2001 00:45:33 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.10.10101200039590.609-100000@master.linux-ide.org> (raw)
HPA,
Thoughts on granting all block subsystems a general access misc-char minor
to do special service access that can not be down to a given device if it
is open. There are some things you can not do to a device if you are
using its device-point to gain entry. Also do the grab a neighboor and
force the migration to find the desired major/minor is painful.
Cheers,
Andre Hedrick
